I live in nyc and I think verizon, cingular and t-mobile each have good consumer market share. This is a big city and for those who do not travel to the country can deal w/ cingular and t-mobile. I will say, however, that even though this is a big city, cingular friends of mine do have frequent dropped calls, are unable to sometimes make calls, and do not have service coverage where verizon does have it. I have been w/ verizon for 6 years now and believe me, it is very frustrating waiting for good phones, but I honestly do not want a sub-par network and so I stay. For now.

I signed up with teh Cingular Blackberry Pearl a few weeks ago. the phone ROCKED. The coverage was okay(~10 call failed in 3 weeks), the static on their network was TERRIBLE. I returned the phone yesterday. I even swapped out the Pearl for a 2nd one last week thinking it was the phone not the service. Incorrect. Most calls I couldn't hear some words from the far party...buh bye Cingular....damn, and I fell in love with the phone too.... one more on the Cingular vs. others debate.

I was in the same place last week and had solid 1X signal. My business partner owns land in another rural vacation area and communicates via Verizon where his Cingular-using friends are out of signal. The difference between being out-of-touch and in-touch when on vacation is huge for most business people. That's why they stick to Verizon. Also, other than GPS, Verizon doesn't disable features on blackberry devices. Razrs are another matter, I agree.

Those can be very misleading. No GSM carrier in the US comes close to the coverage of Verizon. Period. If you don't believe me...just check the quarterly sales figures. Verizon every quarter adds more net customers than Cingular or T-Mo, and has far lower churn than either GSM carrier. There's a very simple reason for that: far superior coverage. You can't argue with the sales figures. I've mentioned this several times, but it is an anecdotal story that bears repeating: I live in the state of Florida and the entire state govt switched to Verizon because they were the only carrier to keep functioning during the hurricanes of recent years. This is but one illustration of the reliability of the Verizon network. Hell NO: I wouldn’t go by the coverage maps alone. Those can be very misleading.
